The Organization Health Initiative Project (OHIP) which The Stroke Recovery Center (SRC) is undertaking is designed to position the services of the Center as a valued component in the continuing care (the continuum of care) for stroke victims. The OHIP methodology is to gather data of critical factors for chronic stroke treatment from the existing patient base and compare such data to stroke victims who have limited access to rehabilitative programs. The Project objective is to develop a client data tracking system that will be used to prove the economic and social value of long-term stroke rehabilitation. The hypothesis to be tested is that stroke victims who use Stroke Recovery Center are less a financial burden on the health and social service budgets than those who do not access Stroke Recovery Center services. Stroke Recovery Center, as the best practice model for continuing care for stroke survivors, requires eligibility for predictable and sustainable funding from government, private insurance and/or medical group providers to be replicated in other locations. The research that has come out of this project is now in year 2 and is available below.
